    That'd be hyponatremia, which is also extremely common in runners, has similar symptoms as dehydration, but is more accurately thought of as over hydration. It sounds a bit ridiculous but it's pretty common and quite dangerous especially because most people will drink more water when they really need electrolytes/salt and having more plain water will make it worse.

      yeah i exercised a lot. would really fuck me up and i was so confused. docs didnt know either, only thing weird with my bloodwork was my salt was on the low end of normal. so i figured id just eat more salt, and voila. was weird that they never suggested that imo.
